PRD MOULD BS 590:10 AZA0965
The AZA0965 PRD Mould from AZALAB is a precision-manufactured cylindrical steel mould designed for preparing compacted bituminous mix specimens for the Percentage Refusal Density (PRD) test, in strict accordance with British Standard BS 598:110. This mould is a critical component in asphalt quality control, enabling laboratories to determine the maximum achievable density of bituminous mixtures under controlled laboratory compaction.
The PRD test simulates intensive site compaction and is widely used to assess whether field-compacted asphalt has achieved a density close to laboratory refusal density. Accurate mould dimensions are essential to ensure reliable density and void content calculations, particularly for heavily trafficked roads and performance-critical pavement layers
REFLUX EXTRACTOR 4000 GMS AZA0941
The AZA0941 Reflux Extractor 4000 GMS from Azalab is a high-efficiency laboratory apparatus designed for the quantitative determination of bitumen content in asphalt paving mixtures using the reflux extraction method. Engineered for large sample capacities up to 4000 grams, the AZA0941 is an essential instrument for civil engineering laboratories, road construction quality control, and materials testing facilities.

REFRIGERATED DUCTILITY TEST AZA0957
The AZA0957 Refrigerated Ductility Testing Apparatus from AZALAB is a specialized laboratory instrument designed to determine the ductility of asphalt binders and bituminous materials at low temperatures. This test is critically important for evaluating the performance of asphalt pavements in cold and variable climatic conditions, where thermal contraction can lead to cracking and premature pavement failure.
Ductility, defined as the distance a bituminous binder can be stretched under tensile stress before rupture, is a key indicator of binder flexibility. At low temperatures, asphalt binders become increasingly stiff and brittle. The AZA0957 enables engineers and material technologists to accurately assess a binder’s resistance to thermal cracking, ensuring the selection of materials suitable for cold climates and long-term pavement durability.
